Newbie XML/XSL question

[hardyrj]

I am doing a simple task where I am trying to create a table of car
with column headers such as model, make, color etc and then hav
details of the different cars underneath ..... and I have to create
dtd, xml and xls file for them. I have tried entering one set of dat
for a Mercedes car but the data just all comes out together on one lin
and doesn't create the table as I had hoped! My output looks lik
this:

Cars for Sale

steeringpower brakes1Mercedes BenzE2402003Black8fuel_injected yes ye
yes yes yes

Any help MUCH appreciated. Thanks
